how to change belt?

[Transk53]

Just what am I wrong about?

Bad attitude. Yeah I can come across as being a Tool sometimes. However, I do not mean to be, and tbh my humour is often misconstrued. Having a bad attitude is utterly pointless, those type of users are generally referred to as being trolls. So therefore, one does need a good attitude to progress through the belt system. Not for attaining the belts, but you expect someone with a virtual black belt for example, to have a good attitude.

You would expect that but it isn't always the case. I've seen black belts on this board, by that I mean black belt as in they've made enough posts to advance that far in rank in martialtalk, and I've seen black belts in real life who aren't nice people. So somebody with a black belt, virtual or real, should have a good attitude, but they don't always do.

The belt system here at Martial Talk is a counter. Nothing more. You post, your count goes up, your belt changes. That's it. Nothing remotely serious about it.

Good communication and good posting will result in your THANKS and REP going up. If other members think your posts are good, helpful, informative and accurate, you'll be thanked and given positive rep. If not, you won't be thanked, and/or you'll get negative rep.

In short, the belt is merely an indicator of how much you post. The THANKS and (especially) the REP system are an iindicator of the quality of those posts.

Dude!

I was dead chuffed at having just achieved my green belt through hard work and determination and you've totally peed on my parade!

From what I have heard through the media and written (html wise) that Steven Seagal is one. In terms of this board I cannot speak on that, then again I doubt I would notice anyway.

Just, guys.... don't ever try to wash your Martial Talk belt. It's a bad idea. Your computer will not be happy, and you'll wash away all of the good posts you've written to get there.

 

[Cirdan]

And of course, should your belt ever touch the ground you must immediately burn your monitor and buy a new one.

Sadly, only the good ones wash out. All the bad posts you've made stain the virtual material.

Yeah concur. Sometimes though, I truly do not know that I have said something controversial, but I get you're point.

That's always possible. For example, you used "you're" instead of "your". Incorrect grammar can be quite controversial.

I think you are wrong. I have a bad attitude and certainly could be considered a troll. And still, I have risen up through the MT belt ranks just fine.

Then I would despair!

How do I get awarded one of those badges? It would look quite snazzy along with my shiny new green belt.
